Griese Wins
Year’s Study

InPhilippines

John Griese '53 has been announc¬
er recipient of a Fulbright Fel¬
lowship for the coming academic
year. Greise plans to continue his
work in social sciences at Silliman
University in the Philippines.

Action on several other Middle-
bury applicants is pending.

A Fulbright scholar receives full
expenses for a year's study at a
foreign university, including trans¬
portation. An applicant must pass
the approval of several boards on
local, regional, and national levels.
The fellowships are designed to
promote a better understanding be¬
tween the United States and other
countries.

Greise will be one of eight study¬
ing in the Philippines.

A transfer from R. P. I. at the end
of his freshman year, Greise is a
joint sociology and psychology maj¬
or. He has been a laboratory assist¬
ant in the psychology department
since coming to Middlebury. A mem¬
ber of Theta Chi, he has also served
on the staff of WRMC.

The de Paur Infantry Chorus,
nationally acclaimed as one of the
finest singing groups in America,
will present a musical program at
the Middlebury High School audi¬
torium Friday night, March 27. It
will be the second attraction in
this year's Middlebury College Con¬
cert- Lecture Series, and, like the
others, admission will be by ID card.
The concert will begin at 8:15.

The de Paur Infantry Chorus is
composed of thirty-six Negro vet¬
erans of World War II. It was or¬
ganized informally within the 372nd
Infantry Regiment at Fort Dix, N. J.
in 1942. Some time later at Hawaii
they gave a performance for the
Pacific High Command which at¬
tracted the attention of military
officials. The chorus was detached
from the 372nd Infantry Regiment
and made an independent unit
under Captain de Paur to entertain
the United States fighting forces.
During the rest of the war, the
men gave more than two thousand
concerts for American servicemen.

Following a Pacific tour in 1946
the chorus was signed for a civilian
tour. It turned out to be a tremen¬
dous success, and the chorus has
continued to please music lovers
ever since.

During its Army tours of foreign
countries, the chorus became ac¬
quainted with many types of music
from many nations. Part of the
repertoire to be presented at Mid¬
dlebury will consist of folk music
from other lands, as well as spiri¬
tuals, World War II songs, and
contemporary classics.

Debate Team
To Go South

At the beginning of April, the
Middlebury College debating team
will send four men to the Univers¬
ity of Virginia for a four day pub¬
lic speaking tournament. The mem¬
bers of this group will be William
Walter '53, Evan Anderson '54, Ern¬
est Lorch '54, and Robert Slocum
'54. The tournament will be com¬
posed of such activities as debat¬
ing, after dinner speaking, im¬
promptu speaking, and informative
speaking.

This trip will be one of the many
trips that the debating team has
participated and will participate
in. Two weeks ago, Anderson, Ken¬
neth Morse '54, Helju Kivimae '55
and Elizabeth Miles '55 participated
in one of the largest tournaments
of the East in New York. Sixty-
five schools participated. Middle¬
bury placed in the upper third by
winning five of their ten debates.
Notre Dame came out on top.

Tomorrow Middlebury. will enter
the Regional West Point National
Tournament for the first time with
Lorch and Walter as Middlebury
representatives. Of the thirty-five
schools attending, five will be chos¬
en to participate in the national
playoffs. Two other meets are
scheduled for May.

The names of twenty-seven
sophomore women who will serve
as sophomore guides were an¬
nounced recently by Barbara Wells,

Middlebury Conference last Friday
night.

Dr. Baxter pointed out that,
whereas twenty years ago there was
a sharp cleavage in both parties
between the internationalists and
isolationists, the public has since
become aware of the Russian dan¬
ger; and in 1952 both parties nomi-
inated strong Internationalist can¬
didates. In meeting the danger, we
must learn to know not only our
allies but also the Russian satellites,
as there is a real possibility that
they, like Tito, may suddenly be¬

"It is through the massing of the

bombs, the immense superiority of
the U. S. Steel production, and the
hope that they can win what they
want without fighting.

Having abandoned the idea of ap¬
peasement and undertaken the
leadership of the free world, the
United States has led “the most
impressive mustering of force the
world has yet seen short of full-
scale war.” To avoid an all-out
struggle, "the American people need
patience, resolution, and the un¬
shaking determination to risk con¬
flict if need be, rather than to
pave the way for a third war by an¬
other Munich.” These desired qual¬
ities, the speaker felt, have been
clearly demonstrated by the new
administration.

However, our own resources and
leadership are not enough, Dr. Bax¬
ter said; even more important, we
must learn to work with our allies.
It is imperative he concluded that
we make them feel that we are
working “not for the United States,
but for the collective N. A. T. O.,"
in order to unite effectively the de¬
termination of the free world.

West Panel

By Ann Towle ’55
Beverly Watkins '56

Dr. Ernest Kalibala, former area
specialist of the U. N., opened the
Wesf panel discussion with a dra¬
matic expression of the African
attitude on the problem of unity
among the non-iron Curtain coun¬
tries. He stressed the misunder¬
standing and lack of concern of
the white people towards the prob¬
lems of Africa, and he presented
facts and statistics about the race
inequality and economic, social and
educational inefficiencies of the
area.

Dr. Kalibala elaborated on five
major problems which are prevent¬
ing unification. One lies with Eu-

Communism, but nationalism” was
the opening statement of Dr. T. Z.
Koo, professor of oriental studies at
the University of Iowa. In discuss¬
ing the Revolution of 1911, Dr.
Koo stated that the objectives of
nationalism were three fold; dem¬
ocracy, as applied to China’s effort
to substitute an elective form of
government for a 3000 year old mon¬
archy; livelihood, an effort to im¬
prove the economic and social con¬
ditions of the people; and spirit, in
terms of national unity.

In considering relations between
the East and West Dr. Koo found
three phases of imperialism (terri¬
torial, economic, and social) as the
major stumbling blocks to unity
outside the iron curtain. “There can
be no peaceful relations between the
East and West until these forms of
imperialism are changed to equality
and reciprocity," said Dr. Koo. He
concluded by stating that the basic
conflict of the world today is one
between democracy and totalitarian¬
ism, and that we as students should
strive to further the perfection of
this democracy.

To understand ouseives and to
know our allies were the major
suggestions of India's representa¬
tive Thomas Yahkub, professor of
Far Eastern affairs at Goddard Col¬
lege. By working through the United
Nations we can best achieve inter¬
national unity without eliminating
national sovereignty. To avoid a
balance of power and alliances
which ultimately lead to war, the
United States should carefully ana¬
lyze its allies. Mr. Yahkub stressed
the point that we should encourage
interpretations of democracy appli¬
cable to the prevailing conditions of
individual countries, a policy to
which India has long prescribed.

"Although we ought to follow har¬
mony . . . nothing could be a better
guide than truth itself” were the
opening words of Edward Jurji, as¬
sociate professor of Islamics at
Princeton University. The first of
four propositions involved the in¬
tense self-consciousness of the Mid¬
dle Eastern countries which can
best be seen on the floors of the
United Nations. No interpretation
of the Middle East can be sound
unless it considers the geographical
and economic problems of the heart¬
land countries, was the second of
his propositions. In Dr. Jurji’s third
proposition he discussed the factors
which govern the role of the Middle
East. "Friendship is the greatest

and secondly to the hypocrisy as
displayed in campus segregation and
tire exclusion clauses of fraternities
and sororities.

Summary

By Don Nason ’54
Mel Gussow ’55

In his summary address, Dr.
George McReynolds, Conference
moderator, optimistically discussed
the question of unity and under¬
standing; but he stressed the need
for a more positive approach from
the West than the present one
which focuses solely on Russia as
a common enemy and neglects the
development of those areas which
are not presently affected by com¬
munistic Influences.

Dr. McReynolds noted the follow¬
ing arec~ of disagreement among
panel speakers. Tnose coming from
the United States and Europe were
primarily concerned with the Rus¬
sian threat, while those from Africa
and Asia were more directly in¬
volved with the end of colonialism
and an improved economic and so¬
cial status for their peoples. West¬
erners seemed to consider the ques¬
tion of unity only from the stand¬
point of an integrated Europe, while
non-Europeans felt that that is
only part of the complete answer.
Although the speakers agreed that
freedom is a necessity in Africa and
Asia, they differed on its meaning
and implications. In these two areas,
Dr. McReynolds pointed out that
nationalism is the driving force,
but democracy is a questionable
goal.

After hearing Saturday’s discus¬
sion, Dr. McReynolds stated that
imperialism must end and that the
United States should assume lead¬
ership by developing a concept of
unity based on interdependence. A
more factual and comprehensive
approach to the problems in colon¬
ial areas should be presented im¬
mediately to the Western world.

The moderator continued that up
to this time, American policy in
the Far East has been too little, too
late; and it has failed to convince
other peoples that our struggle and
their’s is one and the same. Ameri¬
can power and objectives are only
slightly lesjs feared than Russia’s,
because of the attitude that what
is good for us is good for them.
Patience and understanding from
these peoples was considered im¬
perative by Dr. McReynolds, if the
United States is to successfully re¬
tain world leadership.

Concerning the particular role
that the United States should as¬
sume, Dr. McReynolds stated that
we should "have a deep fundamen¬
tal faith in which we believe, which
will guide our policies in their for¬
mation and execution. It has in¬
cluded and still includes an abhor-
ence of colonialism, an end to the
exploitation of man, support for
the nationalistic aspirations of de¬
pendent peoples, a belief in the dig¬
nity of the individual, a strong be¬
lief in, and support for, a strength¬
ened United Nations, and a recog¬
nition of the fact that the end does
not justify the means.”

Five panel members then contri¬
buted their closing remarks. Mr.
Kalibala agreed with all of Dr. Mc-
Reynold’s statements, but asked
that personal relationships with
such areas as Africa be strengthen¬
ed. Harrison Forman urged that
we consider the other's point of
view, sift facts, and then draw con¬
clusions. Idealism, tempered by
realism, was Guillotin’s solution.
Hope for the success of the U. N
was seen by Dr. Koo, but only if
each country bre’aks through its
national shell. Mr. Yahkub con¬
curred, asking that it be realized
that no two hilltops are the same,
that opinions will, and do, differ
In concluding the 1953 Conference.
Dr. McReynolds advised the U. S
to formulate a statement of prin¬
ciples, which would serve to im¬
press on other nations the desir¬
ability and necessity of peace.

countries have more
their share in furthering unity.

The American point of view on
the topic of unity was presented by
the third panel speaker, Dr. Oscar
Handlin of Harvard University.
He stated four general sources of
misunderstanding that prevent the
unification of these nations; first,
that we all are drawn together only
by the nature of the common enemy
we face. Secondly, we have no sense
of a common objective such as the
Communists have. Similarly, we
have no common faith like the Rus¬
sian ideology which covers all as¬
pects of life. Lastly, we have failed
to develop a sense that all the na¬
tions have the same stake in the
victory over communism.

In conclusion, Dr. Handlin re¬
emphasized that the United States
must make clear that its faith is
applicable to all the world. And we
must undergo both reaffirmation
and application of our acts of faith
of democracy as expressed in our
Constitution.

Concluding the West panel, Mr.
Vincent Guilloton, professor at
Smith College, presented the French
feelings toward the problem of
unity. France, he said, has con¬
tributed ideas, plans, and men to¬
wards the solution of this question,
but she is tending to be reluctant
toward further action. At present
the United States is attempting to
achieve ratification of the E. D. C.
pact which was signed last spring,
but the French are forestalling this
move. Mr. Guilloton said that the
two major reasons for this are:
first, that the emphasis of the
E. D. C. of the present has changed
from economics to war; and second¬
ly, that since last spring the Ger¬
many which is to be rearmed has
become decidedly stronger.

Mr. Guilloton concluded the best
way to defend unity is not by creat¬
ing two independent Western units,
Anglo-Saxon and European, but by
guaranteeing the nations of Europe
a degree of defense by having
United States troops remain in
the area for a definite length of
time.

No Compromise

Evidence that the administration and faculty are con¬
cerned with the familiar problem of why freshmen do poorly
at Middlebury is shown by the recent action by the faculty
which dropped five courses designated 20 and 30 into the
series running’ fi’om 10 to 19. Thus Music 23 becomes Music
13 and History 33 becomes History 13. At the same time, it
will become impossible for freshmen to take any course des¬
ignated 20 or above.

This action is not far reaching in itself. It merely means
that freshmen will not be so baffled in choosing courses dur¬
ing their first semester. They will not have to debate whether
or not it is wise to take a 30 course even though it sounds
like am advanced course. Every subject open to them will be
geared to freshmen, even though upper classmen may still
enroll.

Although this change in course numbers is really only a
means of clarifying a confusing situation, it can be taken as
the first of several steps designed to aid entering freshmen.
If such is the case and if further, more constructive changes
are forthcoming, then some real improvement may result in
the future.

But, although improvement is sought, we must be cer¬
tain that improvement will result. In the present situation,
for instance, here is apparently an attempt to gear freshmen
courses to a freshmen level, although upper classes will be
permitted to enter. The question is will this leveling lead to a
watering down of the freshmen courses? While freshmen,
for the most part, should be in competition with their own
groups, their courses must be tough enough to weed
out those who should not be here at all and should give suf¬
ficient preparation for advanced work in the following years.
We do not feel that it is wise to create different levels of
courses when, theoretically, a college generation is all of a
similar level in intelligence.

These things obviously will not result from changing
five courses and imposing a measure of limitation. But there
are factors to be watched in this and future actions. The
faculty, evidently, are aware of the factors; but the stu¬
dents, whom the change will affect, sould know what is
happening and should, if they want to get the best education
for their jnoney, exert effective pressure in the right di¬
rection.

The problem of freshmen marks is certainly important.
But in attempting to solve it, there should be no compromise
with educational standards. In the final analysis, high stan¬
dards are more apt to insure good students.

American export"
that we should not antagonize the
Arab world In our support of nation¬
alistic Israel. In conclusion he stat¬
ed that we must not forget that the
Middle East is the cradle of two
religions; 4he United States must
adopt, a policy of tolerance if unity
is to be achieved.

Harrison Forman, explorer, au¬
thor, and lecturer, in discussing
China defined foreign imperialism
in the following manner: “when we
Chinese go to your country we
have to learn your language; when
you people come here we still have
to learn your language.” History
records this intense intervention of
foreign powers with accounts of the
Open Door policy, extraterritoriality,
and the use of the English language
in Chinese affairs. What does Com¬
munism actually mean to the Asia¬
tic masses? Mr. Form-an contended
that “China has been conquered by
the Communists, but not by Com¬
munism.” With an illustration he
pointed out that the average Chin¬
ese peasant sees Communism as a
Westerner views Robin Hood - take
from the rich and give to the poor.

In the ensuing question period nu¬
merous important points were ana¬
lyzed. In answer to the inquiry “Will
the Chinese Communists break away
from Russia?” Mr. Forman answered
and Dr. Koo agreed that Mao Tse
Tsung is a colleague and not a pup¬
pet of the Kremlin.

Perhaps the most pertinent ques¬
tion concerned our position as col¬
lege students in achieving unity. In
commenting on this Dr. Koo pointed
first to the illiteracy of the Amerl-

Duff 5 49 9 Town Manager 9
Coordinates Local Affairs

By John Von Uartz ’55

In the spacious town manager’s
office, below the Town Hall Theater,
abides a one man gang that keeps
the cogs of Middlebury’s village
and township machinery turning.
The engineer is the ubiquitous
Thomas Duff of the class of ’49. Mr.
Duff's official title is Town Man¬
ager, but his duties require a bevy
of titles from Head of the Zoning
Board to Overseer of the Poor.

A Town Manager, as Mr. Duff
explained, is a servant of the coun¬
cil which is composed of selectmen
and trustees. In Middlebury the
village itself has seven elected trus¬
tees, and the township has three
6eleotmen, who are also elected.
These ten men make up the council
which does all the legislative work.
The town manager, on the other
hand, does no legislative work but
handles all the various and sundry
jobs essential for the running of a
town.

The Town Meeting

Mr. Duff is also an ardent believer
in the old New England institution,
the town meeting. Recently a town
meeting was held and in two hours
it had made three minor tax dis¬
tributions, voted for daylight sav¬
ing time, abrogated taxes on dwell¬
ings and the airport, voted a tax
to pay the town’s outstanding
debts, authorized the selectmen to
borrow money for the town, and
voted a four per cent reduction of
taxes if paid on time. The meeting
also levied a tax for roads and
schools and elected a new school
director. There were various other
smaller items.

All these measures were passed
on an oral vote, but there were three
bills of sufficient import to require
Australian ballots. The town voted
wet for the third straight year,
they retained the town manager
system, and they vetoed the pro¬
posed building of a new bridge. You
can see from this that the town
meeting doesn't waste any time, for
under a better developed bureau¬
cracy this hunk of legislation might
have taken the town manager’s
term to complete.

Explanations

Tom Duff is often called on to
explain certain things at the meet¬
ings; thus, the service of direct
representation is kept right up the
line. At least one meeting must be
held a year, but anytime ten per
cent of the voters sign a petition
they can have a town gathering. A
warning is posted telling of the
issues to be discusspd, then every¬
thing is all set. The official annual
meeting is held on the first Tues¬
day of March. The voters don’t wait
for a town meeting to call on Mr.
Duff, however. The Garden Club or
the Boy Scouts may need him at the
drop of a tulip or a good deed. "I
do everything from administer the
town to help bury the dead,” as he
puts it, and he's not far from wrong.

Midd ’49

Norwich, Connecticut, was the
original home of Tom Duff. He went
to American International for a
year before the army caught up
with him. He spent three years in
the ski troops (he had never been
on skis before in his life) then came
to Middlebury where he was grad¬
uated in 1949. He is starting his
third year as town manager.

To the Editor;

May I make two brief comments
upon Jerry Gross’ column of two
weeks ago in the CAMPUS. Noth¬
ing could have been finer or more
appropriate than his tribute to
Captain Fred Brooks of the basket¬
ball team. In my judgement Fred
has been one of the best team cap¬
tains I have seen at Middlebury, and
that is true largely because in char¬
acter he is outstanding among all
Middlebury men.

And thanks, Jerry, for your men¬
tion of my own attendance at
games. I like to think that “they
also serve who only stand and wait,"
a condition that must overtake us
all when it is no longer possible
for us to participate in our favorite
games. I wish I might turn the clock
back as easily as you suggest, but

truth compels the admission that it
has been thirty years, rather than
twenty-three, that I have been
wearing out seats in the stands. But
it. hasn’t been quite as one-sided as
it sounds, for during more than
twenty of those years T have been
able to leave a few cleat marks
upon the baseball fields.

The only reason for mentioning
this is that I would have those who
hang up their Midd uniforms for the
last time this spring realize that
this is not the end of the trail, and
if they truly love .baseball they
can play at it for at least another
twenty-five years. If their speed
diminishes, their pleasure can grow.

AMERICA’S LEADING MANUFACTURER OF CIGARETTES

© A. T. Co.

MIDDLEBURY COLLEGE, MIDDLEBURY, VT., MARCH 26, 1963

At this point the infield seems
fairly strong. Returning are Capt.
Marshall at second base, third sack-
er Doug Binning, first basemen
Roger Colton and catcher Dick Al¬
len. Allen, Binning and Marshall
all hit over .300 in the 1952 campaign
and should form the nucleus of a
hard hitting club providing Bobo
can find a long ball hitter or two
to drive in the runs.

The outfield lost two key men,
but holdovers Cahill, Skiff and Ma-
kin are ready to step in and fill the
breach. Makin may be the answer
to the power hitting problem if he
can continue to clout the ball as
he did in the final stages of last
season.

Pitching is another big problem
that the Panthers will have to solve
if they are to keep in contention
this year. Oeorge Christian and
lefty''Neil Sheehan will be ready to
hurl, but Bill Fankhauser is a big

question mark. He was plauged by
a sore arm in 1952, but if he is
allright he will be a big help to
the pitching staff.

The unknown quantity of course
are the crop of freshmen ball play¬
ers. Judging by the performances
of Buzz Allen, Tom Hart and Ronny
O'Keefe this winter the freshmen
class will probably provide a lot of
good material to go along with the
returning lettermen.

Although they won the state
championship last season, the Pan¬
thers were only able to post a 7-9
season record. This season won’t
be very easy either, with tough
games against Williams, Trinity and
Wesleyan in addition to the tra¬
ditional state rivals. However, with
more than a month to go before the
Junior Weekend opener with Cham¬
plain it is much too early to pre¬
dict anything.

By Art Goldberg

As the temperatures soared up
to the fifties, and the le.r,t traces
of snow disappeared, there settled
over the campus that lazy happy-
go-lucky feeling known ns Dunmor-
itis. For those who still felt athletic,
Coach Bobo Sheehan issued the call
to arms for his diamond legions.
On Tuesday a large contingent of
freshmen came out and today the
veteran upperclassmen led by Capt.
Peter Marshall made their initial
appearance on Porter Field turf.

Taking a quick look at the 1952
edition of the Panthers, we see that
shortstop Scooter Paulson and out¬
fielders Bob Stalker and Cricket
Curtis are no longer around. The
loss of these three key men will
put quite a dent in the Middlebury
attack especially in the power de¬
partment. In addition Barrie Storrs
the stopper on last year’s mound
staff, has graduated.

Track Team Looms As “Best Ever

West And Faber
See Stronger
Field Division

The board track behind McCul¬
lough is reverberating this week
to the sneaker-clad feet of several
dozen eager, sweating undergradu¬
ates as the first series of time trials
are being run off under the sup¬
ervision of Coach Arthur Brown.

Fifty-one Candidates

For several weeks, now workouts
have been held indoors,, but It is
only this week that the squad has
at least partially emerged from the
confines of the' Field House. Some
fifty-odd candidates are out and
prospects are bright for a banner
season despite the loss of such stal¬
warts as Ray Ablondi, Dick Daily
and Ron Prinn. Many experienced
freshmen have turned out for the
squad, some of them sporting en¬
viable prep school records.

Track Events

Nevertheless, it is the returning
lettermen who will in all probab¬
ility impart the greatest strength
to the team. Led by co-captains
George West and Don Faber, the
veterans present a formidable array.
In the middle distances Sonny Den¬
nis and George Limbach will no
doubt head the list, ably abetted
by promising new-comers Curt Cur¬
tis and A1 Ledyard. Rog May and
Brooks Dodd are both back in their
respective distances of one and two
miles and are likely to get com¬
petition from frosh Stan Hayward
who reportedly runs the mile in
4:40 or better. In the hurdles, a
large number of candidates will be
vying for positions led by Don Fred-
erickson and Denny Gamble in the
highs and Earl Bolton, Jere Foss
and John Bagnall in the low's. Also
in the running are Tom Beers and
freshmen Billy O’Malley and Dick
Westfall. George West is a cinch
to again dominate both sprints but
he will have to move to beat such
speedsters as Harry Myers, John
Baker and Dennis.

In The Field

The high jump seems to be shap¬
ing up as the strongest field event
with Tom “Rebound” Hart doing
a consistent six feet and better.
Right behind him are veterans John
Field and Pete Terry and frosh Flip
Terhune and John Miller. Fred Nor¬
ton and Pete Casclo will take care
of the pile vault while Terry is the
best bet in the broad jump. The
weights will be thrown furthest,
judging from last Monday's trials
by Field and Faber along with
freshmen Bernle Bouvier and John
Snell. Last but not least Is Russ
Briggs, out in front in the javelin
department. The first meet is a
quadrangular affair at Lewiston,
Maine on April 25th involving Bates,
Colby, and U. V. M.

Sailing, Lacrosse, Tennis
Golf Move Into Gear

Let’s Be Frank

By Frank Sullivan

THE PLACE - The exercising room of the Memorial Field House,
a room which has housed at various times, excited sportscasters, a va¬
riety of assorted muscle builders and decathlon aspirants who are gun¬
ning for glory In the '53 Kelly Olympics.

THE TIME - One of those afternoons which is commonly known
as "my first time out."

THE SCENE - A conversation between two athletic neophytes as
they strive to remove that last layer of winter fat before the season
gets underway. One is a lithe and lanky track hopeful, spurred by the
confidence of his press clippings. The other a short but stocky follower
of the art of baseball and a fan of that Brooklyn Bum, Camp Campa-
nella.

THE TRACKMAN - (with frequent grunts as he attempts to touch
his toes while sitting with his feet spread at a convenient breadth of
one foot) "Gee, I don’t know what happened to me Monday, that track
was sure muddy. I made the team,” he tossed in proudly, “but those
hayburners shouldn’t have beat me in the 220, my best event. We’ll see
who gets under 0:23 next time. How did you make out in your meeting
on Tuesday?"

THE CATCHER - “Well, we couldn’t do much, just throw the ball
around and do callisthenics. There was about ten guys out for catcher.
You can’t do much until after the first cut. Wow, these deep knee bends

are hard. 47, 48, 49 and fifty. Whew, I’ll have to up the count if

I ever expect to get behind the plate this year. Allen’s going to be a
tough man to beat out. Wait a minute, I have to wring out my T shirt.
There, now I can really work up a sweat!”

TRACKMAN - "Isn’t that Tom Hart who just walked over to the
high jump? I heard he did pretty good down at Blair. I think he’s crazy
to jump in here, its too easy to get a bone bruise.”

CATCHER - "What do ya care? If your in shape, nothing will ever
bother ya."

TRACKMAN - “Still and all, ya wouldn’t catch me leaping over that
bar with just the mat to fall on.”

CATCHER - “Look at the spring that guy’s got.” (making another
move toward the slop bucket where he squeezed his shirt.)

TRACKMAN - “That kid's a marvel, no wonder he was so good off
the backboards. I wonder what height the bar is set at?” Let’s see, I’m
6-foot-one. Damned if that bar doesn’t seem level with my head. Let’s
go over and see what he’s doing.”

The two aspirants crowded about the uprights with the other exer¬
cisers, who had also dropped their contortions to observe this tall, lanky
lad make kangaroo Jumps over the black andf white crossrod.

CATCHER - “There’s Don Faber, let’s ask him what height it is.
What’s the height of the bar, Don?”

TRACK CO-CAPTAIN - "Oh, about six feet even, a little more, a
little less."

CATCHER - "Come on, that would of won the nationals last year.
Cut the bull.’’

FABER - “Well, I’ll tell you what. When Bobo has you sitting down
at the far end of the bench during the Champlain game, why don’t you
duck across the ball park and see him do it officially. And maybe if you
want to see some other tricks, you can stay and see George West run a
sprint.”

CATCHER - "Me, watch track? I’d rather go to the Polo Grounds
and cheer the Giants.”

Lacrosse

The lacrosse team took to the field
last week, with co-captalns Jimmy
Bartlett and Bob Kelley leading the
way. After a rough season last year
the stickmen are looking ahead
hopefully to the 1953 campaign.

Coach Parker's club will open the
season on April seventeenth at
Brown, and will play at Tufts the
eighteenth. After two more games on
the road they will return to Midd
to open the home season. The
toughest team to be encountered
this year Is Williams, one of the
top clubs in the east.

Outstanding men in the attack
department are “Monk” Ogden and
co-captain Bob Kelly. Bob Sullivan,
who has changed from mid-field,
maj also shine on attack. Top mid-
field men are Dave Stone, Hap-
Freeman, Bob Kileen, and Bob Gal-
lager. Two outstanding freshmen
mid-fielders are Fred Weitzel and
Walt Thompson. On defense the
standouts are co-oaptain Jimmy
Bartlett, George Byers, Jim Ash¬
worth, Clive Coutts, Armin Linden-
meyer, and Marcy Garcia. Dave
Strachan is the best prospect In the
goal.

Tennis

The Middlebury netmen who have
been playing upon the concrete
courts of the Memorial Field House
have had their first outing of the
season and it looks like this season
will sport a well-balanced contin¬
gent of racketeers with the accent
on depth as well as skill. Coach
Lockwood Merriman with Capt. Bob

Dodge have been analyzing the pros¬
pects of the team and it seems the
starting posts will be filled by
Spike Hemingway, (much improved
over last year), Bob Beattie, Doug
Burden, and Bob Black. In addi¬
tion these returning veterans will
be Frosh tryouts by the names of
Fred Patterson and Verne Grey
who will also be figuring in the
coming season’s matches.

The first game of the season is
against the Dutchmen of Union Col¬
lege on the Union Courts, April
25th. Out of the nine games that
the Tennis team plays seven are
away games. This shift of schedule
has offered the team the better com¬
petition which has been needed to
to cope with the improved team
play. Williams, one of the best
tennis teams in the East, will pro¬
vide the stiffest competition. If
the team can repeat the J-2 rec¬
ord that they posted last year they
will indeed bring laurels to Mid¬
dlebury tennis.

Sailing

The skippers of the Middlebury
Yatch Club boasting a new comet
sailboat will open the season at
Boston on the Charles River when
they take on the combined oppon¬
ents of Tufts and M. I. T. in one
of the first collegiate cup races
of the N. E. I. S. A. Back from last
season of this bi-annual sport are
mainstays Ralph Gunderson, ladies

omore by the name of George West
moved into the limelight by virtue
of his famous dash duels with Willie
Howard, record sprinter from UVM.
Even in 1951, though, West was
better known in Boston than he
was on his own campus after setting
a new EICA meet record in the 220
and winning the hundred yard dash
besides.

Last year, the era of the fifteen
man track team appeared over when
some sixty went out. Records in the
100 yard dash and high jump were
wiped off the books and the discus
mark was missed by just a foot. For
the first time in years, Williams
found the Panthers a worthy op¬
ponent. In 1950, the Ephtnen had
rolled up 105 points, and the next
year it was 90. Last season the
score was 76-48 and in 1953, Mid¬
dlebury may well find herself in

The rather bold announcement
that this year’s track team should
be “the best ever” must be heart¬
warming to anyone who has ever
put in time on the cinders of Porter
Field. Track at Middlebury was
a dying sport until 1950 for the
three pretty obvious reasons of
Dunmore, poor facilities, and lack
of talent.

Perhaps first credit for the re¬
vival of interest in the sport should
go to Irv Meeker a record-holding
hurdler who single handedly re¬
presented and placed Middlebury in
the large New England meets for
three years prior to 1951. It was
he who drew the fans despite 5:05
miles and feeble hammer throws.

When Meeker graduated, Dick
Dailey carried on the hurdle tra¬
dition, and Ray Ablondi attracted
attention in the quarter. But a soph-

Important (acts about the opportunities for YOU
i Commissioned Officer—Pilot or Aircraft Observ
in the United States Air Force

Must I be a college graduate to take Aviation Cadet Training?

No. But you must have completed a minimum of 60 semester
hours or 90 quarter hours toward a degree. In addition, under
the new Aviation Cadet training program, you must be be¬
tween the ages of 19 and 26years, unmarried, and in good
physical condition—with high requirements for eyes, ears,
heart and teeth.

Do Aircraft Observers get flying training, too?

Yes. Aircraft Observer Cadets receive approximately 200 hours
of "in the air” instructions. The primary phase of Aircraft
Observer training is the same for all branches (navigation,
bombardment, etc.). The basic and advanced phases of training
vary, depending on the specific course you pursue.

What kind of airplanes will I fly?

You will fly jets. The Pilot Cadet takes his first instructions in
a light, civilian-type plane of approximately 100 horsepower,
then graduates to the 600 horsepower T-6 "Texan” before
receiving transition training in jets. You then advance gradually
until you are flying such famous first-line aircraft as F-86 Sabre,
F-89 Scorpion, B-47 Stratojet, B-50 Superfortress. Observer
Cadets take flight instructions in the C-47 Dakota, the T-29
Convair, and the TB-50 Superfortress before advancing to first-
line aircraft such as the F-89 Scorpion, B-47 Stratojet.

Will my commission be in the Regular Air Force or Reserve?

Aviation Cadet graduates, both Pilots and Aircraft Observers,
get Reserve commissions as 2nd Lieutenants and become eligible
to apply for a regular Air Force Commission when they have
completed 18 months of active duty.

How long must I remain in Service?

After graduation from the Aviation Cadet Program, you are
tendered an indefinite appointment in the United States Air
Force Reserve and are called to active duty with the United
States Air Force for a period of three years.

What recreation and leisure time will I have as a Cadet?

Discipline will be rigid—especially for the first few weeks.
However, it is not all work. You’ll find swimming pools, handball
courts, movies and other forms of recreation on the post.

Where will I be stationed when I get my commission?

You may be stationed anywhere in the world . . . Hawaii, Far
East, Europe, Puerto Rico, elsewhere. During your tour of duty,
you will be in close touch with the latest developments in new
flying techniques. You will continue to build up your flying
experience and later should have no difficulty securing a CAA
commercial pilot or navigator rating.

The best measure of

How long before I get my commission?

60 calendar weeks. You will receive the finest aviation training
in the world—training that not only equips you to fly modern
military aircraft but prepares you for executive and administra¬
tive work as well. At the completion of your training, you will
have acquired a commission as a 2nd Lieutenant and the
coveted silver wings of the United States Air Force.

Where do I take my training?

Pre-flight training will bo at Lackland Air Force Base, San
Antonio, Texas. Primary, basic and advanced training will be
taken at any one of the many Air Force bases located throughout
the South and Southwest.

What happens if I flunk the training course?

Every effort is made to help students whose progress is unsatis¬
factory. You can expect extra instructions and whatever indi¬
vidual attention you may require. However, if you fail to
complete the course as an Aviation Cadet, you will be required
to serve a two-year enlistment to fulfill the minimum requirement
under Selective Service laws. Veterans who have completed a
tour of military service will be discharged upon request if they
fail to complete the course.

What pay do I get as an Aviation Cadet? And after?

As an Aviation Cadet you draw $109.20 a month pay. In
addition, you get summer and winter uniforms, flight clothes,
equipment, food, housing, medical and dental care and insurance
... all free^ After you are commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant you
will be earning $5,300.00 a year—with unlimited opportunities
for advancement.

Are all Aviation Cadets trained to be Pilots?

No. You can choose between becoming a Pilot or an Aircraft

Professor Pardon Tillinghast has

Dr. Tillinghast started a new class
with his eleven top students and
they study as a separate entity from
the regular History 12 class. The
new group (wrongly talked oi as
"baby intellectual”) works from a
different book but covers the same
period of history os the larger sec¬
tion.

The smaller class deals with theor¬
ies and with direct works by histori¬
cal manuscripts; the accent is not
on lists of facts, but on trends end
reasons. Dr. Tillinghast decided ;o
start his "baby” this semester after
simialr projects proved successful
at Williams College. The project
will be continued from now on if
Dr. Tillinghast's schedule permits,
but the problem of picking the
small class for first semester work
is a tricky one. With no marks to
